Saw a Mirage "deadstick" at an Amberley airshow many years ago. The pilot misjudged it by this ...... much!

Ker-splat! They had to scrape the aeroplane off the runway.

From the angle of decent, I suspect you could be over the piano keys at 10,000 ft and still land on them. You gotta judge the roundout just right though.
